Tulle Things. Molly Goddard AW24

Molly Goddard‘s design language, consisting of signature tulle and romantic, magpie aesthetic, takes a beautiful, somewhat experimental turn for autumn-winter 2024. The play of volumes makes you think of the sensational Junya Watanabe’s 2000 “Techno Couture“ collection which was all about exaggerated, honeycomb ruffs inspired with European portraiture of nobility. Like some extraordinary dolls wrapped in layers and layers of tulle, the Goddard models could easily appear on the set of Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things“. Then there were all these charming cowgirl motifs, like embroidered roses on collars and full-skirts covered in XXL polka-dots, kept in a vivacious color palette taken straight out of a Pedro Almodovar film. Not every designer could pull off such portion of eclecticism and make it all look somehow consistent. But Molly Goddard is a creative who finds method in the madness.
